# Set your identity

When you are a validator, you care for your credibility and recognizability as seen by potential nominators. One way of ensuring the trustworthiness of your account is attaching some real-world information to your account, including the display name, email, website, etc.

#### Set basic information

Go on the [polkadot.js app](https://subexp.uomi.ai), connect your validator wallet (created as first step in [Spin up a validator](https://docs.uomi.ai/build/run-a-node/become-a-validator/spin-up-a-validator)).

Go to **Developer > extrinsics.**

Select **your validator account** and **identity > setIdentity** as extrinsic type
